Portable furniture power outlet

Abstract

A portable furniture power outlet includes a main body having a larger cross dimensional thickness along a top end, and a smaller cross dimensional thickness along a bottom end to form a wedge between two cushions of any piece of furniture. The main body includes a plurality of AC and DC receptacles that are positioned in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. A main body shoulder and a plurality of ridges increase the static friction of the device to prevent movement during use. A cable management system is positioned along the outside surface of the main body, and a transformer that performs wireless device charging is provided within the main body.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A portable outlet device for furniture, comprising:
 a main body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front surface, a rear surface, a pair of side surfaces, and an internal cavity; 
 a power receiving unit that is configured to receive electrical power from a power supply source; and 
 one or more power receptacles that are disposed along the main body; 
 wherein the top surface of the main body includes a cross dimensional thickness that is greater than a cross dimensional thickness of the bottom end of the main body, and the main body is configured to be removably wedged between two cushions of a piece of furniture. 
 
     
     
       2. The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a shoulder that is secured along the main body at a location adjacent to the top surface. 
 
     
     
       3. The device of  claim 2 , wherein the shoulder is constructed from a high friction material and is configured to prevent movement of the main body when secured to a piece of furniture. 
     
     
       4. The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a plurality of ridges that are positioned along an upper portion of the main body. 
 
     
     
       5. The device of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of ridges are constructed from a high friction material and are configured to prevent movement of the main body when secured to a piece of furniture. 
     
     
       6. The device of  claim 4 , wherein a bottom portion of the main body includes a non-textured surface. 
     
     
       7. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more power receptacles includes at least one power receptacle that is positioned along the front surface of the main body in a generally vertical orientation; and
 at least one power receptacle that is positioned along the top surface of the main body in a generally horizontal orientation. 
 
     
     
       8. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more power receptacles includes a plurality of DC power receptacles that are recessed within the top surface of the main body. 
     
     
       9. The device of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a cover that is slidingly engaged with the main body at a location above the plurality of DC power receptacles, said cover functioning to selectively protect each of the plurality of DC power receptacles when in a closed position. 
 
     
     
       10. The device of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a transformer that is positioned within the internal cavity, said transformer functioning to change an AC input voltage to a plurality of different output DC voltages. 
 
     
     
       11. The device of  claim 10 , wherein the transformer is configured to sense a voltage requirement of an electronic device that is plugged into one of the plurality of DC power receptacles and to automatically provide the required voltage to the one DC power receptacle. 
     
     
       12. The device of  claim 10 , wherein the transformer is further configured to perform wireless charging of a portable electronic device. 
     
     
       13. The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a cord channel that is formed along a portion of the top surface of the main body. 
 
     
     
       14. The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a pair of indentations that are positioned along the pair of side surfaces of the main body, said indentations being configured to position an electrical cord in a circular orientation about an outside surface of the main body. 
 
     
     
       15. The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a power supply cord that is secured to the power receiving unit. 
 
     
     
       16. The device of  claim 15 , wherein the power supply cord is removably secured to the power receiving unit.
